Definitely my MOTM tonight, thought he was our most effective player.

Very strong performance tonight. Forced to pull double duty since there was no bruiser next to him
Very good performance today. Much much better than before. Hope he continues to improve. Even put in a decent defensive performance.
Harry Winks is getting back to his best ? And no DM beside him so he has to do that role too !
Im trying to remember those 7 chances though..there was an excellent cross to Llorente , what else? Someone who was paying attention to mainly Harry Winks can maybe shed light on this. In any case , hope he puts in similar performances against better teams too.
Chances created = the pass before a shot
Showed tonight that a holding midfield role is certainly where his future lies, so important that his teammates have faith in him and they do, 10.5% of our play went through him, on Eriksen with 12% had more time on the ball, 90% pass completion the best in a Spurs shirt on the night ... and he chucked in 4 winning tackles ...
Let's hope he's got the lillywhite blood in his veins ... could be our midfield general for a decade ....

Love him so much, another great performance tonight best player on the pitch glad I am not the only one who noticed.

100% of your post boils my piss. Leave the stats elsewhere and just enjoy his majesticness,
Aah the key passes stat.
Last night though, after being down so early, and players like Son, Lucas who take the ball run run run and have a shot can mean even a sideways pass to one of these guys could be a 'chance created'. Even Davies had 4 shots, a sideways pass to Davies and he has a go from long range also gets counted as 'chance created' while not really being a chance of any kind.
He's a definite starter in CM now imo. Part of it is to do with how good he's been lately and also how the other cm's in the squad have regressed bad.
In a game like last night you need someone bang on in the challenges with a real sense of urgency recycling the ball on the break. If it wasn't for him I would have been quite worried. Great to have him back.
On SC he was my adopted son for two years running. So much made of the iniesta comments a couple seasons back and then a collective of badmouthers.
He is making a name for himself and I am happy to see it. Has been down to fitness from the start and if it weren’t for that injury he would have been the first name picked in midfield. He has it in him to be a Xavi type of player and if Wanyama was healthy we would be a very strong side. I would love to see him beside a player like Diawara or De Jong.

Puts our discussion last night into perspective.
Only a stat - but a nice one to have. Most key passes in 90 minutes than any other player in CL this season.
Played with fabulous intensity last night. More of the same please, Harry.
He's also making a lot more forward passes and passes switching the play. Exactly what we've been needing for quite a while imo
Agreed, but on the basis of the quality of the opposition, I think it's important not to get carried away. Much tougher tests ahead.
